Man I'm similar to you; I value money a lot more than most seem to. I'm 35 and had 3 cars. The third car I've had for nine years, and is almost 15 years old. I plan to have it for another 3, 4, maybe...

I liken the Magneride to the DOHC VT&L that can deliver smooth idle (like plush shocks / springs) with big-cam performance (performance suspension). It's a technology that offers much less compromise...
